That's Amore?

It only has one non-English word... but hey, it's in the title, so maybe it counts. :undecided:

Most songs by Benedictine Monks, Edith Piaf, Gypsy Kings, Josephine Baker, Mistinguett, James Brown, Marc Anthony, Andrea Bocelli, etc are not in English.

It was both LaBelle & Aguilera and both were No. 1 hits... but 26 years apart. BTW, I did state "and probably some others" to indicate there could have been more artists that recorded the song! http://tinyurl.com/3cxfw7s
